Ntyne, Mists, Dreams, Spirits, Magic and the Self
Art:
kartobes you should definitely commission them
Character: Enitan belongs to :GibbyEnsign:
Growing up in a large pack doesn't afford you as much freedom to do as you please, as you may think. In fact, his own had a respected hierarchy and culture, one that made sure that the roles and responsibilities of the pack rotated and fell on everyone's shoulders. Everyone knows how difficult it is to do each task since at some time, before adulthood everyone's had their paw at it. There's no secret though that, some people find some tasks easier than others, some people enjoy other tasks, some people loathe them and some people find that they do not sway them either way.
During these formative years it is often when you discover those that you are good at, those that you.. would rather not do for a living and those that stimulate and feed the mind and soul. Enitan's been through it all, Hunter, Gatherer, Farmer, Scout, Guard, Cook, Carpenter, Smith and Caster but the one that has always stirred his soul has to be learning the arts of the Shaman.
Some people think that tradition and upholding culture does not involve accepting change. Without strict lines and guidance combined with penalties many arts evolve in time. Everyone's got their interests that vary from person to person and Enitan took his talents not just across the village but also, combined it with his other skills as a Scout and Guard, to the battlefield.
In his time as a Shaman, he's healed many, spoken to spirits and prepared people for battles of the mind and the body. He's seen Life, Death, Joy, Suffering and everything in between. His skill in the arts of divination have proven useful for others who had lost loved ones and then finally for himself when the darker days finally came to his own doors. Although now, through the arts of Shamanism, he is able to speak with those from his pack's past, life is still the greatest teacher. Even though the past can teach you a lot, true wisdom is experience, knowledge and action all put together.
Words illuminate the way, knowledge provides the tools, experience steels the mind and action is the means to guide all outcomes. The results may not always be to our favor, falling hurts, but we've only ever truly lost when we give up. A Shaman is nothing without experience. This one is more mystical by it's very nature. A divination to seek out and connect with the very roots and sources of magic in Ntyne, something he once thought all peoples had an affinity to do.
Their roots spread out all across the lands, from the North to the South, across from the West to the East and even in the seas between. Magic is in everyone, or so he would say. Some people are so caught up in the here and now, or perhaps it is not something that they know how to seek, that they lose this connection. The inability to sense the self, to control the body, most from the trader's world do not seem to understand what is lost. Instead they chase what can be seen, all without knowing that sometimes what they want the most is all within them to grant to themselves.
Magic is a tool of the mind and body. Sit and let us see the true potential that is within you.

Initially most people are not sure about seeing a Shaman but it helps that he keeps company with people in high places. Sometimes it's not about how good you are but who you know but being a natural at his arts helps him to steadily make a name for himself. Still there are those who will never go to see a Shaman and others that go because they want to see the spectacle of it all.
You make me think that I should get more pieces that express the wonder of Ntyne.
